795: Audiens vero, quod Saxones more solito promissionem suam, quam de habenda christianitate et fide regis tenenda fecerant, irritam fecissent, cum exercitu in Saxoniam ingressus est et usque ad fluvium Albim pervenit ad locum, qui dicitur Hliuni; in quo tunc Witzin Abodritorum rex a Saxonibus occisus est. Ibi etiam venerant missi tudun, qui in gente et regno Avarorum magnam potestatem habebat; qui dixerunt, quod idem tudun cum terra et populo suo se regi dedere vellet et eius ordinatione christianam fidem suscipere vellet. |

When he heard that the Saxons had, as usual, broken their promise to accept Christianity and keep faith with the king, he entered Saxony with an army and reached the Elbe at Liine. At that time, Witzin, the king of the Obodrites, was slain there by the Saxons. To that place also came emissaries of the tudun, who possessed much power among the people and in the kingdom of the Avars. They declared that this tudun wished, with his land and people, to submit to the king and on his instruction accept the Christian faith. |
